Integrated Co-Electrolysis and Syngas Methanation for the Direct Production of Synthetic Natural Gas from CO and H O.

The concept of an integrated power-to-gas (P2G) process was demonstrated for renewable energy storage by converting renewable electrical energy to synthetic fuels. Such a dynamically integrated process enables direct production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) from CO and H O. The produced SNG can be stored or directly injected into the existing natural gas network.

Oxygen Nonstoichiometry and Valence State of Manganese in La Ca MnO.

Perovskites of the ABO type, such as LaMnO, can be used as air electrodes in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. Their properties can be tuned by A- and B-site substitutions. The influence of La substitution by Ca on the oxygen nonstoichiometry has been investigated frequently, but the results depend highly on the synthesis and atmospheric conditions.

Power-to-Syngas: An Enabling Technology for the Transition of the Energy System?

Power-to-X concepts promise a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions simultaneously guaranteeing a safe energy supply even at high share of renewable power generation, thus becoming a cornerstone of a sustainable energy system. Power-to-syngas, that is, the electrochemical conversion of steam and carbon dioxide with the use of renewably generated electricity to syngas for the production of synfuels and high-value chemicals, offers an efficient technology to couple different energy-intense sectors, such as "traffic and transportation" and "chemical industry". Syngas produced by co-electrolysis can thus be regarded as a key-enabling step for a transition of the energy system, which offers additionally features of CO -valorization and closed carbon cycles.
